There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today – Crystal Palace v Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa and West Ham United v Brentford.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira names an unchanged starting XI after Monday night’s 1-1 draw with rivals Brighton and Hove Albion. The Eagles are unbeaten in their three Premier League home matches this season, conceding just one goal at Selhurst Park so far.

For Leicester, Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m), who was unable to feature in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League game due to an issue with his travel documents, starts alongside Jamie Vardy (£10.4m), with Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m) and Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) also featuring.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.5m) drops to the bench, with Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.9m) unavailable.

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to avoid a fourth straight Premier League defeat, and make three changes from last weekend. Emerson Royal (£5.0m), Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) all come in, replacing Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m), Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) and Dele Alli (£6.5m).

Son Heung-min (£10.0m), who has netted three of Spurs’ four Premier League goals this season including both at home, is involved, as is the 5.1% owned Harry Kane (£12.1m).

Opponents Aston Villa, who are going for a third win on the bounce, are unchanged. As a result, Leon Bailey (£6.4m) and Morgan Sanson (£5.0m) both miss out, with Dean Smith hopeful the pair will return after the international break.

West Ham United name the same starting XI that began their 2-1 win at Leeds United in Gameweek 6. Vladimir Coufal (£5.0m) returns after missing their European tie against Rapid Vienna with a groin injury, and starts alongside the highly-owned Said Benrahma (£6.6m) and Michail Antonio (£8.0m)

For Brentford, head coach Thomas Frank makes two changes, as Mathias Jorgensen (£4.5m) and Shandon Baptiste (£5.0m) replace Kristoffer Ajer (£4.5m) and Frank Onyeka (£4.9m).

  5. Viprin
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Vardy is the perfect Ron replacement

  6. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    I have Vardy from GW8. Whoop whoop!

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I've had him from the start, but admittedly, I have a thing for him, lol.

  7. Jafooli
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Ah ffs….need a Gallagher brace and Salah haul now….

  8. GROBARI
    5 years, 20 days ago

    So Vardy is the most consistent 10+ million foward in the game then

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Lukaku and Ronaldo can't touch him. Ha!

  9. OptimusBlack

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Why the hell have I Guiata in goals.

    1. fish&chips
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Same, thought I was being clever when I brought him in 3 weeks ago

  12. Gross Blank Point
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Nice, glad I swapped ASM to Carry.

    1. Gross Blank Point
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Vardy lol

  13. TyroneGAA
    5 years, 20 days ago

    No assist

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Barnes.

  14. diesel001
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Joachim Anderson costing Palace big time.

  15. DycheDycheBaby
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Vardy > Lukaku? 😀

    1. Nomar
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Been saying this all week.

  16. Mr. O'Connell
    5 years, 20 days ago

    My dream of a 3 point return for Guaita is over then

    1. fish&chips
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Pen save. There's still hope

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 20 days ago

      It’s the hope that kills you.

      1. fish&chips
        5 years, 20 days ago

        At least this is better than the 95th minute assist he served up last week

  17. putana
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Ive had vardy since gameweek 1. Has really been good for me

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Same! Love that little dude!

  18. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 20 days ago

    No FPL player I hate more than Vardy, owned him and captained him a lot last season, didn't return once, whenever I don't own him he scores.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Set forget asset.

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 20 days ago

        He's too expensive to keep when he's not scoring.

        1. Thomas Magnum
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Same with Son, great when doing well but when they're not they're a lot of money to have in a player not returning points

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Mate, I think there's no correlation other than saying perhaps you should give fpl a rest?

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 20 days ago

        The correlation was perfect almost to the exact game I think.

    3. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Was just about to post the same. Him and Son are points machines when I dont own them but turn into Carlton Palmer when I do have them. Its just so infuriating.

      Doing well at FPL has always not been about the players you have but rather when you have them and these 2 are players I seem to constantly fall between the gaps with.

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah there's always a few players like that, unfortunately I'm falling between the gaps with all my differential

        1. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 20 days ago

          I always feel as well with Vardy that he must be getting past it now and losing his pace as he's 34 now. You just know if we transfer him in he will regress. Hating FPL at the moment. Utter garbage.

  19. DandyDon
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Vardy! Why didn’t I captain him though ahead of Ron…probably because palace have been by far the better team at home. He always finds a way though…

    1. DandyDon
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Last 3 weeks he has outscored Ronaldo and I’ve had him sat as Vice Captain!

  20. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a Vardy return, planning on getting him in next GW …

    1. Gross Blank Point
      5 years, 20 days ago

      He's a season keeper if fit

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Was that a Barnes assist? Hit Anderson on way to Vardy

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Intended target.

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Barnes has intended targets?

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          5 years, 20 days ago

          😆

        2. Rainer
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Steve in row Q, seat 7.

          1. Jafooli
            5 years, 20 days ago

            In which case, no assist 😉

    2. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Its classic FPL assist

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Bloody hope so after nearly 2 months

    4. diesel001
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Yes, because Vardy was always the intended recipient.

  22. Tronity
    5 years, 20 days ago

    How's my wildcard team looking?

    Ramsdale Foster
    Cancelo Dias T.Silva Rudiger (Livra)
    Salah Son Raph Sarr (D.Luiz)
    Vardy Antonio (Archer)

    2.1 ITB ready for TAA's return

    1. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Take out Sarr. Fixtures are awfull and Watford are awfull

      1. Tronity
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Dacoure instead perhaps?

        1. GROBARI
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Him Saka Mbeumo...

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Needs more Barnes and Nacho

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Sarr to Mbeumo

  23. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Where are you Antonio???

    1. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      In London

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      5 years, 20 days ago

      He's getting his assists ruined by Benrahma

  24. TheBiffas
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Vardy my captain!!

    1. OptimusBlack
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Me too

    2. PartyTime
      5 years, 20 days ago

      We feast!

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Maybe Salah was the best cap option after all.

    1. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      No,nacho was

    2. Nomar
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I sincerely hope so. Only hope for my GW now.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Bruno served me well all things considered

  26. diesel001
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Antonio looking like getting any attacking returns?

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      He will score around the 90th minute again

  27. Corona is not good 4 U
    5 years, 20 days ago

    What do I have to do so that I have to be deleted or removed from an invitational classic league?

    Thanks!

    1. Carefree Crew
      5 years, 20 days ago

      The "administrator" whoever set the league up can do it I think.

      1. Corona is not good 4 U
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Thank you!

    2. Carefree Crew
      5 years, 20 days ago

      No worries mate. 🙂

  28. Zilla
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Birthday theory strikes again with Nacho

  29. JBG
    5 years, 20 days ago

    That should have been a pen for WH..

  30. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Rival captained Vardy 🙁

    1. AC/DC AFC
